This document discusses how natural hazards often become disasters due to human factors that increase vulnerability. It argues that while hazards are natural, disasters are generally not as they disproportionately impact vulnerable groups. Vulnerability is defined as the characteristics of people, like their social, economic, gender or ethnic position, that make them more susceptible to harm from hazards. The document aims to show how political and economic systems create inequalities in exposure to risk and that technical solutions alone cannot reduce disasters without also addressing the root causes of vulnerability.Disaster Nursing PRESENTATION, ADVANCED NURSING PRACTICE

Risk factors, or underlying disaster risk drivers, are conditions or processes that can increase the risk of disasters. These factors can include:
Climate change: Changes the frequency and intensity of hazards, and can lead to more intense storms and flooding
Environmental degradation: Reduces the environment's ability to meet social and ecological needs
Poverty and inequality: Both a driver and consequence of disasters
Unplanned and rapid urbanization: Can increase exposure to hazards
Weak governance: Can increase vulnerability to disasters
Poor land management: Can increase the risk of disasters
Demographic change: A compounding factor that can increase the risk of disasters
Non-disaster risk-informed policies: Can increase the risk of disasters
Inadequate regulations: Can increase the risk of disasters
Limited availability of technology: Can increase the risk of disasters
Unsustainable uses of natural resources: Can increase the risk of disasters

1) A disaster is defined as a serious disruption to a community caused by hazardous events that lead to human, material, economic, and environmental losses and impacts.
2) Disaster risk is determined by the potential loss caused by an interaction between hazards, exposure, vulnerability, and capacity.
3) Disaster risk drivers like climate change, poverty, and rapid urbanization can promote or increase disaster risk by weakening resilience and amplifying the potential impacts of hazards.Introduction to Disaster planning and mgt.pptx

The document discusses the relationship between disasters and development, and the impact of land use and land cover changes on disaster risk. It notes that development projects like dams, embankments, and changes in land use can influence vulnerabilities to disasters. Land use is defined as the activities and arrangements people undertake on land, while land cover refers to the physical material on the earth's surface. Zoning designates permitted land uses. Assessing land use is important for natural resource management, as land use/land cover patterns are shaped by socio-economic and natural factors. Understanding land use changes is crucial for effective resource management and sustainable development planning.

The document discusses the risks associated with disasters, noting that disaster risk stems from natural hazards combining with vulnerabilities in exposed populations and assets. It explains that while vulnerability has decreased somewhat due to improvements like better building standards, overall risk has grown globally due to increasing exposure as populations and economic assets concentrate in hazardous areas. Furthermore, marginalized groups tend to be disproportionately affected by disasters due to higher levels of vulnerability and exposure.Disaster managemant

The document discusses disaster management and defines key terms. It explains that a disaster occurs when hazards meet vulnerability. The combination of hazards, vulnerability, and inability to reduce risk results in disaster. Vulnerability is defined as the diminished capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover from hazards. Natural hazards become natural disasters when they affect vulnerable human populations and infrastructure. Man-made disasters result from human-caused hazards like technological or industrial accidents. The disaster management cycle includes impact/response, rehabilitation, reconstruction, mitigation, and preparedness phases. Preparedness aims to strengthen community capacity through activities like risk assessment, response planning, and resource mobilization.basic concept of disaster and disaster risk (PPT1).pptx

Some forms of childhood trauma can be avoided, but others are unavoidable, including the trauma produced by disasters, including both technological and natural disasters. These disasters uproot lives, cause deaths and injuries, and lead to long-term challenges with infrastructure. For families with children, disaster produces loss, financial instability, and significant parental stress.

Among the sowing dates, sowing of castor at 2nd fortnight of August has recorded significantly higher kernel yield (705.8kg/ha) followed by September (497.0kg/ha) over October and November sown plots due to deficit in rainfall. Among the varieties/hybrids tested GCH7 has recorded significantly higher mean kernel yield (597.7kg/ha) in all dates of sowing over other genotypes. GCH7 and DCH 177 have recorded significantly higher kernel yield by taking sowing during 2nd fortnight of August (1046 and 927.6kg/ha).

Inland fisheries are the main source of protein and vital nutrients for many communities. However, these fisheries have several challenges, such as ectoparasites, and their detrimental effect on the food security and financial stability of those who depend on them. Ectoparasite infestations significantly negatively affect the profitability and standard of living of fish farmers since they can lower fish yields and quality overall. In the Bontanaga and Golinga reservoirs in northern Ghana, ectoparasite infestations of O. niloticus (Nile tilapia) and C. gariepinus (African catfish) were investigated for prevalence and variation. The study emphasizes how ectoparasites affect fish health, influencing regional economy and food security. The study discovered that the infestation rates of the different species and reservoirs varied. In general, the infestation rates of C. gariepinus were greater in Bontanga and Golinga, at 76% and 48.9%, respectively, than in O. niloticus, at 61.5% and 38.4%. The temperature and dissolved oxygen levels in Bontanga reservoir (28.50C and 6.8 mg/l) and Golinga reservoir (26.30C and 5.4 mg/l) were found to be statistically different at p < 0.05. In both reservoirs, there was a significant association (p < 0.05) between the ectoparasite prevalence and the water quality indicators. Seasons and water quality characteristics differed in the incidence of ectoparasites, highlighting the necessity for efficient management techniques to lessen these parasitic risks.

- 2. 3 WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TERM ‘NATURAL DISASTER’? Disasters are not natural. If the same powerful cyclone were to hit two different regions in the world, the results would look very different. It’s actually the decisions we make that create a disaster. Factors like living conditions and poverty, government capacity to prepare and respond, as well as the process of rebuilding and how efficient that would be, are all factors that will define whether a disaster occurs as a result of the natural hazard.
